A Thousand Horses

Save Time! Print Your Tickets or Membership at Home!

Purchase and print your Zoo admission and parking tickets at home and enjoy express entry at the Zoo’s main entrance. You can also print your new membership and use it the same day. If you are not able to print tickets in advance, please purchase tickets and parking at the box office or express ticketing kiosks when you arrive. We are unable to scan tickets or memberships from mobile devices.

The Philadelphia Zoo is open every day of the year except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

The Zoo offers a $2 per ticket discount for active military. Tickets must be purchased at the Box Office, proper ID required.

Zoo gift certificates can be used to purchase Zoo memberships, admission tickets, parking, attractions, and food (at our dining locations). Gift Certificates can be purchased online, through the Call Center and at the Zoo’s main box office. And as a reminder, these certificates have no expiration date, so they make great gifts!

†All rides are seasonal and their availability may be subject to weather, capacity, mechanical, and/or animal-related issues. Always check signs at entry on day of visit.

All ticket sales are final and may not be resold. No exchanges or refunds for any reason including inclement weather.
